At the Manifest Lipcowy mine in peine Zdroj, headquarters of the les, 1,800 miners filed back to their jobs at 6 a.m. for the first time since last Friday, when they struck in sympathy with the shipyard work ers of Gdansk. Poland’s official PAP news agency said the Manifest Lipcowy workers were expected to dig 11,000 tons of hard coal Thursday from the veins deep underground near the Czech border. In Warsaw, the government pub lished the first details of a proposed new set of price regulations designed to control the cost of living and ease workers complaints about inflation. The new regulations, which must be approved by Poland’s Sejm (Par liament), would require government permission for any increase in the price of 47 basic food items, includ ing bread, meat, fish and vegetables and 56 industrial articles. The proposed list of controlled prices would include public trans port fares, postage, rents and fees for services such as television repairs. The Sejm will meet Friday. PAP said Premier Jozef Pinkowski will offer a program “for a fundamental remodeling of the government’s work, with an eye to lead Poland out of the present difficult situation, re move the sources of social discontent (and) bring the economy and public life back to normal.’’ OMO Cuban troops added ped,” saidSb ee to fourij tors of the L‘d the Nafe following^ md everyth poon staff I a comedy ns get reinforcements In another measure aimed at con trolling Poland’s economic difficul ties and consequent worker unrest, the government has been assemb ling a package of financial aid from the socialist countries of Eastern Europe, especially the Soviet Union. “The U.S.S.R. was, is and will be Poland’s No. 1 partner in foreign trade and international economic re lations,” First Deputy Premier Mieczyslaw Jagielski said Wednes day night in a statement issued through PAP. “These are obvious truths. Nobody, with the exception of a handful of opponents of social ism, undermines or questions them.” Jagielski, who disclosed the Rus sian contribution in the PAP state ment, said the new hard currency loan would be used to supply Po land’s chemical and metallurgical in dustries. United Press International The speaker of the Iranian Parlia ment denounced Britain Thursday for jailing Iranian demonstrators, accusing it of “spinelessness.” Parliament speaker Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani read to the Con sultative Assembly a letter from Ira nian students jailed in London and said Britain’s attitude showed it had become an American satellite. “I do not understand how the Brit ish tolerate such an imposition,” Raf sanjani said. “We did not expect such spinelessness. I warn Britain that if this attitude continues she must not expect such injustices to remain un answered by us and our friends throughout the world nor must she think that her interests in the world will not be jeopardized. ” A British Home office spokesman says 46 Iranians still are held in cus tody following their arrest during student demonstrations last month. One has been remanded awaiting trial, another is serving a short sent ence and will be released. The other 44 have been convicted by the courts and are awaiting deportation. Tehran Radio reported firing squads executed nine people, in cluding six convicted of setting a fire that killed more than 400 people in a movie theater in Abadan in 1978. lad neven and short ktf hool Yei the magazin mos United Press International ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A full pi army division has been flown Ifghanistan to reinforce Soviet ns and the Afghan regular army, [l sources said Thursday.

The Soviet troops have been com manded by officers trained in World War II, a military source said. The Afghan source, who returned from fighting in eastern Afghanistan recently, said he heard the Soviets also withdrew a “large number, perhaps the remainder” of soldiers native to the Central Asian Soviet republics. Frequent reports from Afghanis tan have said Asian Soviet soldiers were often sympathetic toward the Afghan Moslem rebels.
